词语用法

n. (名词)

1. smell作“嗅觉”解时,表示鼻子闻出或分辨气味的能力,用作不可数名词。
2. smell表示“气味”时,既指好的气味,又指难闻的气味,用作不可数名词。
3. smell还可表示“闻,嗅”的动作,一般用单数形式。

v. (动词)

1. smell用作及物动词时,表示“闻到,嗅到”,指闻某人或物以分辨其气味,也指“闻出”某人或某物的气味。引申可指“觉察”到某事。接名词、代词、动名词或that/wh-从句作宾语或同源宾语,有时可接以现在分词充当补足语的复合宾语。
2. smell用作不及物动词时可表示“有嗅觉”; 也可表示“散发出…的气味”,作此解时可接as if引导的方式状语从句。
3. smell用作系动词时,具有被动意义,接形容词作表语。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

smell, sniff

• 这组词的共同意思是“嗅”。其区别在于:
• 1.smell更强调嗅觉,而sniff更强调嗅觉器官。所以smell可用于表示“有无嗅觉”,而sniff可表示“吸入”。
• 2.smell可表示“散发臭味”,而sniff可表示“鼻子里哼了一声说道”,引出直接引语,而smell无此意义和用法。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 那玫瑰发出香味。

   误 The rose smells well.

   正 The rose smells sweet.

   析 smell在这里意为“发出气味,闻起来”,用于系表结构,其后需接形容词作表语。

2. 我闻那花的香味。

   误 I smelled the flower.

   正 I smelled at the flower.

   析 “闻…的香味”需在smell后加介词at。

3. 他呼吸中散发出白兰地的气味。

   误 His breath smells with brandy.

   正 His breath smells of brandy.

   析 smell表示“有…的气味”,是不及物动词,应与of连用,但不能与with连用。

4. 你闻到晚饭的香味了吗?

   误 Are you smelling dinner?

   正 Can you smell dinner?

   析 smell通常不能用在进行时态中; 但可以与 can连用。

5. 我什么也没闻到。

   误 I don't smell.

   正 I don't smell anything.

   析 smell 表示“闻到”时,是及物动词,其后需接宾语。它还可以表示“有难闻的气味”,此时便是不及物动词了。
